 eBay question? - nice but dim
The car I bought recently was on an eBay auction which I offered a cash for a private sale of which was accepted. The seller is a car trader. I noticed the original auction has ended and has sold (far less than I paid, grrr!, still got a good deal I think).

Is this worth worrying about? I assume that the seller will just get bad feedback, on top of paying a FVF. I didn't understand why he didn't just end the item after it got sold?

I'd put a wheel clamp on it if i were you, it might be gone by the morning.

Don't worry about it nbd... he said in the listing it was advertised elsewhere so first come first served. The "winning" bidder should expect it's only 50/50 the car would have been still availaible.

As a matter of interest I never bid for something that is "for sale elsewhere".

That's against the new ebay terms.

He probabaly has 2 accounts and bid on it himself so no negative feedback.
